Veteran's Day 2014

Post by randy »

To all my comrades, those that stood on the line, and those that still do so today, I'm proud to be counted amongst your company.

Is it me, or does Veteran's Day seem to be getting a lot more coverage this year?

Anyway, here's me back when I used to be Johnny Badass.
